Very nicely done. Did you do the cabinet also?

WOW, that is a gorgeous machine. You did a beautiful job.

I did not refinish the cabinet. I told my friend I would get the machine running, but I wouldn't have time for the cabinet. She was thrilled just to get a running treadle as a gift. The machine was terribly dirty, inside and out, but she was basically sound. I'm glad it wasn't more challenging than it was! I sure admire the fabulous, patient restorations I see here!

Wow, she sure shined up nice, didn't she?? Lovely!

Red Eye is probably my least favorite of the Singer decals, but this one looks great. :)

Wonderful job, the decals are much nicer than the one I have, looks like you have a "calling" here, so go get more machines.

Amazing! You couldn't tell in the before photo that the machine even had decals! Red Eye is my favorite, but my Lucy's (yes, I named her after Lucille Ball) decals are not nearly as perfect as yours. You did a great job!

My all time "lust after" machine. Magnificent restoration !!

That is hilarious! I nearly named her "Lucy" after Lucille Ball, too! The cabinet was so plain that I couldn't do it. She needed a more "serviceable" name.
